| 520 | _a"Ramshackle House" by Hulbert Footner is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Pen Broome, a strong-willed young woman grappling with the decline of her family's estate and her unexpected feelings for a mysterious visitor named Donald Counsell, who arrives amidst accusations of murder. As the narrative unfolds, it paints a vivid picture of life at Broome's Point and the complexities of love and loyalty interwoven with elements of suspense. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Pen Broome, a hardworking and spirited woman managing her family's crumbling estate, while dealing with the frustrations of her father’s incompetence and the household’s mismanagement. On Decoration Day, while assisting around the house, Pen becomes restless upon witnessing the gaiety of the holiday outside. Following a confrontation with her father about household repairs, she retreats to a serene, hidden grove containing an old temple, where she reflects on her unfulfilled desires and loneliness. This introspection is interrupted when she meets Counsell, a handsome and charming stranger who is camping nearby. Their awkward initial interactions are filled with underlying tension and attraction, setting the stage for further developments as Pen learns of the murder charge against Counsell, leading to escalating drama that challenges her sense of duty and affection.
